They are filming the Tobey Maquire movie in the CD today. The Central District News has the scoop – http://www.centraldistrictnews.com/2009/…
Jen, I have tried and tried to like Rachel’s work as much as you do but fall short every time…darn it.

The work pictured appears to my eye to be a John Button pastiche. I don’t care for Rachel’s work because it looks like a sloppy version of Button’s more refined paintings.
Hi there — This post is actually by Bethany, but you’re right MA: I do like Rachel’s work. Every once in a while, she makes something devastating. Keep looking (or not; just trying to help).
Tidbit! On my way in this morning I asked what the commercial was for, and I was told it is for notebooks made of bamboo. Bamboo notebooks!
@4: Oooopsies! My apologies. I think @3 is getting to my issue…Rachel’s paintings are neither sharp enough to be “refined” nor fuzzed out/abstract enough to be, well, abstract. Either extreme (and the big ol’ middle) can exhibit more painterly qualities than Maxi’s work does for me.
Case in point, the two dumpster paintings over the 2-top on the southern wall at Grey. The dumpster on the left…the handles are so poorly painted (especially the left-hand side) that the image stays with me to this day…and not in a good way. I actually shudder in the way that one does, remembering a faux pas or being embarrassed for someone. The Ford truck, similarly, seems to sag in the middle and is just not rendered with an appreciable richness of depth.
Oh well…screw it! I’ll treat you to a soda and we can go stare at “Target.” 🙂
her paintings are bad. bad. cant we ever call a fucking spade a spade in this town.
